For the record (currently Google doesn't find this issue yet):

    ImportError: No module named ply

$ sudo apt-get install python-ply

    ImportError: No module named git

$ sudo apt-get install python-git

Works!

Apparently I didn't have any of these two packages installed on any of my
Ubuntu 18.04LTS and 16.04LTS machines...

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
